  You tell us that we're wrong

  You tell us not to sing our songs

  Nothing we can say will make you see

  You've got a heart of stone, you can never feel

 You say, "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me

  I believe that life is a good thing (?)

 Oh no, you're out of your mind, it won't happen to me

  'Cause I've carried my weight and I've been a strong man"

 Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store

 (?) Anybody want a drink before the war?

  Your parents paid you through

  You've got a nice big car, nothing bothers you

  Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see

 Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel

  And you live in a shell, you create your own hell

  You live in the past and talk about war

  And you dig your own grave, yeah

  When it's a life you could save

  So stop with the past, it's not gonna happen

 And you cry but you'll never fall

 No no no, you're building a wall

  Got to break it down, start again

  You say, "oh no, it won't happen to us"

  We've lived our lives basically in goodness"

  So stop talking of war 'cause you know we've heard it all before

  Why don't you go out there and do something useful?

 Oh, I've listened to the man in the liquor store

 (?) Anybody want a drink before the war?

  Anybody want a drink before the war

 Ah, anybody want a drink before the war?

 Yeah, yeah...
